October through December of 2018:
It's all the "could have been's" that break my heart,
Guess I should've known it from the start.
It's all the memories you leave
That hunt me down in my dreams.
Cause, Darling, I'm a little reckless
But so were you.
How do you take on the world when it seems everything is fighting against you?
How do you move on from something you didn't want to let go?
How do you heal from something that was your fault?
Where do you go from there?
What could have been if we'd jumped head first into "us" without thought?
Where would we be now?
October 2019:
A year later and here I stand,
Looking back on where I've been.
Oh how glad I am
That I listened to my head and not my heart.
So glad I left him behind,
For now, I have someone so much better on my mind.
Yes, all the "could have been's" hurt,
But all the "still will be's" will heal the most.
Yes, the nightmares are hard,
But the gentle soothing of time smooths them away.
Trust the process.
Life moves on
And brings with it more blessings than you could imagine.
